"Free Spirit" Chapter Posted on by

Director’s Thoughts –  JULY, 2021

Is anyone planning on attending the AACA show in Auburn, Indiana in the beginning of July?  If you are, please let me know for I have items to be delivered to Pete Phillips who will be attending that event.  Maybe you can help both Pete and I out.  Sally Getz, csgetz@ptd.net, 610-377-6130.  Thanks in advance for your assistance.

As many of you know, during the months of June, July and August, we DO NOT meet for chapter meetings.  We will reconvene on Tuesday, September 7, 2021 @ the Starlite Diner & Lounge, Rt. 100, Allentown, Pa. I wish you all a great sunny summer with relaxations on your terms in the hopes of returning in September, so full of energy for this chapters’ OLD CAR SHOW event in LEHIGHTON, PA on Sunday, October 31, 2021.                                                                 

The cats are running down to the basement.  They do not like thunder!  We really need the rain.  At least we do not live out in Arizona for they are in a terrible drought right now.    

If only we could control the weather as we do driving our Buicks!   When one plans on holding an event or to attend an event, most times the weather is not cooperative, right?  As I check on the weather for Sunday, the chapter picnic, right now rain is in the forecast.  Hopefully the rain will hold off  till later that night or, better yet, till Monday, right?  Whatever, will be the case, the picnic WILL BE HED RAIN OR SHINE!!   Hope to see you all there!

                                           Your Elected Director, Sally Getz
